Flying Complex portion of 141 CPL Single on multi-engine complex airplane

Asked by: 1515 views Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations

Hello,

School offers to do Complex portion of CPL 141 flight training on PA-44, which requires 10 hours (FAR 141 app D(4)(b)(1)(ii)). I mean it was happen due to the absence of complex single airplane in service.

Then, on multi add-on, school requires additional 10 hours (FAR 141 (app. I)(4)(k)(2)) on PA-44. In fact, it will be 15 at least.

Does it possible to count multi time from CPL single towards meet requirements for multi add-on?

    It’s best to discuss that question with the school.

    However, cracking open a book, I’ll take a stab at guiding you to the answer.

    “Flight time” means in an aircraft.

    “in Category” mean in an airplane.

    “in Class” means ASEL or AME.

    Read the regulations and focus on where it uses those words and you should find your answer.

    My question is about correct understanding FARs. I see no direct ban to count flight hours from one course to meet requirements another course.
    At the same time I know that my English proficiency isn’t high enough to be sure. So, I’m asking for you help.

    Yes, I understand. However, going back to what I wrote before, your best source is the 141 school where you are training. A Part 141 school can have permissions and limitations that don’t apply in Part 61 training situation.

    I’m sure if they tell you it is possible, then they are correct.
